I have written a couple of notes on the phone, in a todo app. Asking and answering questions to get to an outline. this has indeed worked well. The Question is the hardest part of writing.
I wrote my most recent newsletter on the phone (in Word, not the Substack app) and then edited it later on the laptop. This meant minimum annoying of the cat who likes to come have a cuddle in the mornings. (Not quite the equivalent of a small child, but ours are now big teenagers, so give us a lot more space!) And I am finding my thoughts flow quite well that way. I have done that a few times while on a train, too, as it's so much easier than getting the laptop out. I read somewhere about someone who wrote a whole novel on their phone during their morning commute.
(All that is to say... have you tried writing on your phone in those situations – though maybe you already were.)
